Tips from the Community
Located in the heart of the Morvan forest, the Abbey of La Pierre-qui-Vire was founded in the 19th century. It owes its name to an imposing granite block "in equilibrium," an emblem of the place. An almost suspended atmosphere reigns here.

Beautiful wild spot that can be partly explored by mountain bike on the northern part of the lake.

The Abbey of Sainte-Marie-de-la-Pierre-qui-Vire is a Benedictine abbey founded in 1850 by Reverend Father Jean-Baptiste Muard. The community is located in the heart of nature, in a wild, wooded setting, on the banks of the Trinquelin, a small stream that flows between granite rocks. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbaye_Sainte-Marie_de_la_Pierre-qui-Vire

Located on the border between Yonne, Côte d'Or and Nièvre, the Lac de Saint-Agnan is an artificial lake created in the 1980s. With its air of small Canada, it symbolizes the Morvan Regional Natural Park . It is a very popular site for fishermen, but you can also swim and practice water sports. Note the presence of an inn that can allow you to get water (as was the case for me) and to eat, the opportunities to do so are not legion in the region.

This wooden footbridge perfectly completes the circuit around the lake. Even if it is difficult to stop along the way. Highly recommend stopping for a minute or two to appreciate the lake from this unique perspective.

Saint-Agnan lake is one of the last dams built in the Morvan regional natural park. Running over the top is always a sight to behold.

The name "Pierre-qui-Vire" (Peter-who-Vire) of this abbey, founded in 1850, comes from a natural feature: a loose rock that can be set in motion by simple pressure. Today, the stone no longer moves and is topped with a statue of the Virgin Mary. With its modern, clean lines, the abbey stands out. The community of monks who still live there make excellent cheeses. A word to the wise, gourmets.
